Generator won't stay on.

Just wondering. Gen set will not run long when coach is in motion. Running down the hwy, start gen set (need 110vac) and the gen set will run for 10 seconds to 2 minutes then cut off. Must restart and same short run. Cuts off then start again, etc. Any ideas why gen set will not stay running when RV is moving down the hwy?

    Where is the genset located?
    Could be that it is being starved for air.

    Generac Guardian Quietpac 55. Model 004702-0. Oil level perfect. Gasoline powered. Gen set runs great when coach is sitting still with or without engine running. Just won't keep running when coach is in motion.

    Please post some more details regard the generator. Gas, diesel, propane? Manufacture? Size and such. Otherwise we get into something a kid to three blind men describing an elephant.
